A classic English village mystery, complete in one sitting. Book Two of What the House Owed, by Elinor Bramwick. Full-length audiobook, narrated. Each book is one case, complete; start anywhere.
Nobody had lived in the toll house on the old bridge road since the day the road was freed of its tolls. In July, Mrs Sprent did not start at the front door. She worked open the little hatch where the tolls were once paid, and put her lamp inside. The house was empty. But the old board of tolls on the wall was still keeping accounts: a pencilled column of debts, and one line struck through. Under the counter lay a bundle of promises to pay, made by half the families in the valley, every one written in the same careful hand. Nobody in the valley would own that hand. And the promise struck through on the board, paid in full, had never been crossed out on its paper.
A quiet, exact, fair-play mystery with one clue in every scene and every answer given straight. No romance, no gore, nothing you would not read aloud in a kitchen. For listeners who like a clean, old-fashioned English mystery told straight.
